FORTUNE ROYAL CTL-618 MANUAL LATHE

The FORTUNE ROYAL CTL-618 Manual Lathe is a precision-engineered toolroom lathe equipped with a Newall DP700 three-axis digital readout (DRO) system, enhancing machining accuracy and ease of operation. It features a 3 HP inverter-driven spindle motor capable of variable speeds from 0 to 4000 RPM. The lathe supports a spindle capacity of 6 inches with a chuck, 3 inches with expanding collets, and 1-1/16 inches with round 5C collets, with additional capacities for hexagon and square 5C collets and step chucks ranging from 1-1/16 inches to 6 inches. The spindle nose diameter measures 2-3/16 inches, with a 5C (10°) internal diameter and a 4° taper outside diameter, and a 1-1/4 inch bore through the spindle facilitates bar stock up to 1-1/16 inches in diameter.
